Fellow Dgrinners,
Have seen ads for 'better beamer' flash extender, but ad says only use w/300mm and above....:scratch
What would result be if used w/ 70-200 2.8L, canon 20D, 580EX for late night m/cycle stunt competition shooting... 15-100' distance, 10-40mph, very poor lighting... :dunno
I also have 75-300 4.5-5.6 usm:cry
Are there any other flash extenders that can be used with my smaller zooms??

Any suggestions / advice would be greatly appreciated!
thanks,
rich

How 'bout if I added either the canon 1.4 or 2x extender to my set-up?

    The reason for the 300mm recommendation is that the light output won't cover full frame at smaller focal lengths. So if you are not trying to achieve full frame coverage with the flash, then use whatever lens you want mwink.gif
